pnpm sst secrets set KANDJI_API_KEY "<REPLACE_KEY_HERE>" # "--stage prod" if you're setting for prod
pnpm sst secrets set SLACK_WEBHOOK "<REPLACE_WEBHOOK_HERE>" # "--stage prod" if you're setting for prod
pnpm sst secrets set NOTION_API_KEY "<REPLACE_KEY_HERE>" # "--stage prod" if you're setting for prod
pnpm sst secrets set NOTION_DATABASE_ID "<REPLACE_ID_HERE>" # "--stage prod" if you're setting for prod
